Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

One major call in this FPL squad of the gameweek involves select zero City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are essential to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they host among the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

Yes, City smashed in five times on their last away fixture, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you must attack - the best team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

This squad of the gameweek is selected based on current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You can't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds United come into this match following two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
